How To Find The Perfect Pair of Glasses

More

Eyeglasses should enhance—not conceal—your face. According to Aubyn Thomas, the senior vice president of marketing for LensCrafters, "The biggest mistake people make when picking out glasses is matching the frame shape to your face shape, but what you actually want to do is pick out the frame shape that is opposite from the shape of your face. This helps in balancing the features of your face."

Another way to accentuate your facial features is to pay extra attention to your eye makeup. Mark Cosmetics makeup artist Mai Quynh says, "Make sure brows are groomed and filled in. Certain frames may hide or darken the eye area, so you want them to stand out. Apply a highlighter in the inside corner of the eye. Wear concealer under your eyes. Also, try a colored eyeliner pencil to rim the eyes and make them pop."

Finally, make sure your eyewear fits you—get them custom fit to avoid headaches and eyestrain (especially if you use them to study!). LensCrafters' AccuFit Digital Measurement System platform deliver pupil measurements that are five times more accurate than the traditional method. The result is crisper, clearer vision.
